We currently have the Blackmagic URSA available in Canon (EF) mount. The camera rental includes (2) 64 GB Cfast cards and a card reader.

The URSA has a lot of cool features, including the 10″ HD flip-out LCD screen. This screen means that most productions will not need to rent an on camera monitor.

The camera was truly built with production in mind. Improvements from previous Blackmagic cameras include an ergonomic body, audio monitoring, and a massive 10 inch fold out viewfinder. All things that will make professional production much easier.
